Venue no. 7 was going to be the Crown Plaza Hotel at Marlow. The Mr was already not very keen, as he thought the downstairs restaurant looked like a school canteen (really?? I wish my school canteen had looked like that!!), and that the upstairs room was too ‘corporate’.

In the end, we never ended up going. We were delayed by the previous venue that morning (Bisham Abbey), and had also driven past the back of the hotel on the way to Bisham. I hadn’t realised that the lovely lake with water feature at the back of the hotel, is overlooked by the A404. Like, we could see the patio of the hotel (where our guests would be having their arrival drinks) from the road.
